Solution
The correct option is A3F17mm/s2 Let the acceleration of block A is a and block B is b From Constrained condition and using intercept method we have, ..L1+..L2+..L3=0 ⇒−b+a+a−b−b+0=0 ⇒2a=3b ...(1)
From the FBDs of the blocks we have F−2T=2ma=2m(3b2)=3mb Or, T=F−3mb2 ...(2) 3T=4mb⇒T=4mb3...(3) On solving (2) & (3) we get b=3F17m Thus, the acceleration of the block B is b=3F17m
